Some time ago there was consider
able uneaainess felt in this portion of
the state because of the closing out
of three or four banks. At lamar,
Cello, the Bank of Lamar closed for
business Novenber 4th because its
cashier, A. v. Scott had for eight
weeks been dangerously i'll and the
young man he left in charge was IN
able to rustic collections. The bank
since after an examination by credit
ora is found to be solvent, and now
Its cashier, who is rapidly recover
ing, announces that as soon as he is
able to attend to business he will re-
open the bank and prepared to pay
all creditors in full. The sick cash
Ter was tho only one interested in
the bank who resided in Lamar, and
when he became unable to attend to
business it was practically left to run
itself. With steadily decreasing de-
posits and discounts uncollected it
was only question of time when its
doors mast close. But nobody will
loose 8 cent.
At Lskin we do not learn of loss
except to few persons locally inter-
ested, and it is expected that as soon
as collections can be made all cred
itors will be paid in full.
At Cimarron we learn that before
closing its doors the owner of the
Cimarron Bank settled with all de-
positors who could be reached and
are paying all who present their
claims. Collections being hard to
make the owners determined to quit
business. At Revenna we under
staEd the same course was pursued.
In all the above cases the trouble
only was that collections could not
readily be made and as is usual at
this time of tho year deposits de-
creased. No dishonesty on the part

On Tuesday evening Mr.. Hickman,
the present county treasurer and the
democratic candidate for the same
position In the late election, filed a
notice with the county court contest
ing the election of Henry Kellogg,
the republican candidate. Tho
statement of contest is longer than
We can give, on account of room, but
synopsis of it, is to the effect that,
one of the judges of the election at
Sheridan Lake was not legal voter,
consequently was disqualified, and
that the SO votes cast in that precinct
should be disrsgarded; also that "a
of these votes were cast for Mr.. Kel-
logg and were printed contrary to
law, on yellow paper and exceeded
the width specified by law and that
II of those voters had not resided in
the state the necessary time required
by law.
That the judges of election in the
precinct of Wilde were not qualified
by law to act; that none of the re-
quirements of law for the conduct of
elections were complied with; that
none of the voters at Wilde were
legal voters; that in the precinct of
Granada. Carlton, Arlington, Water
Valley and Cheyenne Wells. SO lille
gal votes were cast for Mr.. kellogg
for treasurer; that the aggregate of
legal votes cast at the election for
the office of treasurer, after deduct
ing the Illegal votes cast and count
ed, was ,5s6, whereof the contestor,
T. ]. Hickman, received s20 votes
and the contestee, Henry Kellogg,
received 1877; that said contestor re-
ceived majority of 72 legal votes
over those received by the contestee
and thereby praying the court to set
aside the certificate of election issued
to Henry Kellogg and declare the
contestor, T. J. Hickman, to be le-
gally elected treasurer.
Mr.. Kellogg arrived in town last
night and we presume he was served
with copy of the summons this
morning. The day for trial has not
been set, but will be as soon as the
contestee is represented by council

Paying the Claim.

There was a man who had great
business ability, says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle. He was Jew. He
had not cent. The last two state
ments do not at first sight appear to
hitch, but truth is stranger than tic-
ton. There was another man who
had the cent. He was also Jew.
The centless man with the ability
was the kind Of thing the abilityless
man without the cent was looking
for. They made partnership. One
thousand dollars capital represented
the cented partner, and the ability
the other fellow; and the combina-
ton worked. They made money,
and made more and more still, until
one day the man who had the CAPT
tai died. You see the firm was lucky.
If the fellow with the business abili-
ty had died, the other fellow might
have busted" The partner who
died left all his property to the living
partner with this proviso, that he
should put the original capital of
81 900 in the coffin. He wanted cap
ital on the other side, you see, and l
suppose he thought that fellows with
business ability and no money were
just as much in the majority there as
here. Well, the surviving part

all about it. He was honest and con-
scientious.
" You go and put it in the coffin

will make your mind easy" said the
rabbi.
The next time the rabbi met the
business man he found him happy.

counter in the prosecution of their

She began Thursday last, when,
about $40 a. m. little girl came to
the door and said, "Matchiz?" She
replied in a gentle tone of voice;
"No, child; thank you.p

At 1918, when the young man with
chromos and frames came around, she
said:
"No, nothing today" and shut the

A Successful Farmer.

1t is lesson of advanced agricul-
ture that success turns upon knowing
what you do and how you do it. The
farmer stands in this position in rela-
ton to his farm, his crops, his tools,
his labor, his income, Md his ex-
penses.
He is smart enough to know that
agricultural books and papers, farm
er's clubs and gatherings give him
the knowledge he must have to work
to advantage.
He works no more land than he
can fertilize well and cultivate prop
erly.
He does nothing simply because
Others have done it before him; but
he has good reason for whatever
plan he would carry out.
He never uses inferior seed because
they are cheaper, but secures the best,
and takes plenty of time to get them,
that they may be on hand when
wanted.
He plans his work beforehand, and
to get good help gives two or
three dollars a month more than COM
mon hands demand, and so saves
many dollar during the year in ex-
ira help, in waste, in delay, and in
ruined implements.
He keeps no useless and unprofit-
able stock, but turns off such and re-
places them with the best breeds.
He watches what market demands;
thus he is sure of some profitable crop,
and can depend upon an income.
He reads and studies, and is able to
use machinery whenever it can be
proftably used, thus dispensing with
much of the heavy toll and drudgery
His eyes will see the possibilities o.
q swampy field, and by drainage will
make it the most productive part o.
the farm.
He devotes select portions to a va
riety of permanent crops-the apple
the pear, the peach, the ounce, thu
current, the gooseberry, the small
fruits generally, the rhubarb, the as
paragus. He depends upon no ont
especially"
Perhaps he has, also, his carp
pond, his bees, and his poultry. Per
manent crops lessen his labor, anC
the variety wards off serious losses
He realizes from the beginning tina
crops must be fed, and does not ex
pect to keep land productive unles
he gives to it as well as takes from it
He works by system that is elias
tic, bending to emergencies, taking
the advantage promptly of favorable
circumstances, governed by skilful
industrious, master mind.
He is successful, as matter O
course. Everything about him show
J it. His neat buildings, his clear
yards, his substantial horses, hi
sleek cattle, his contented and happ,
: family.
We call no man successful if h
= fails to make everything around hin

Strawberries.

Plants found to be upheaved when
uncovered must be firmed by rolling
or tramping the soil before the SUMS
heat does them injury. Some fine
manure, ifapplied early in the spring,
will greatly help the crop on any but
the richest of soil. A part of the
plants might be advanced week or
more in bearing by enclosing the bed
with twelve-inch boards and covering
with muslin. The earlier the plants
for new beds are set out after the
ground works up well the,better.
